Author: RL Griffin
Genre: New Adult/Coming of Age
Cover Design: Michelle Carroll - Silver Plum Creations
Release Date: January 8th 2015
Her name is Emery Shaw...Emily Sanders...Emma Simpson...Ericka Smith.
Her family was well off, she ran. They looked for her, she hid. They found her, she ran again. Tragedy strikes, she gets even.
The fact is, she doesn’t know who she is, she tried to run, to hide and make a life for herself, but that backfired. No one knows her except her best friend Rachel, if that’s even an adequate word for what they are to each other. Rachel helps her build a life for herself below the radar, which is fine until the unthinkable happens knocking Em out of her unfeeling cocoon. When her house of cards comes tumbling down she runs again, until the one person who can change her mind finds her.
Due to adult situations, language and possible scenarios that may be difficult for some readers to handle, take a breath before you start this one. It’s gritty and not pretty. Nothing is pretty here. Whiskey is a good thing.

Razorblade Kisses (RBK) is an all consuming, heart in throat type of read. It's actually the second time this year that a story has completely floored me. Leaving me utterly speechless and with such a hangover that I feel lost. It's the type of story that I crave and live for. When the author generously allowed me an opportunity to read an advanced copy I jumped in feet first and OH MY GOD!! From the prologue right up until the last word, I felt such a heavy weight on my chest. I was filled with anxiety, excitement and such a tug on my emotions.
RBK tells the story of a Emerson. Emerson is a 16 year old who makes a decision that will change her life. She is holding on to a heartbreaking secret that haunts her every day. Immediately I felt disgust for what this poor girl has had to endure. She makes the tough decision for her sanity, but this will not only affect her, but also the one person who is her light and that she loves dearly.
This is a story that you must experience first hand without too much information, so I can't go any further into the plot. But what I will say is that this story will consume your mind, body and soul because that is it's purpose. It's meant to rock you to the core. It's a journey with lots of lows but sprinkled with some highs that melts and repairs your heart. RBK is a tough read, but so well worth it. It's mentally exhausting but in such a good way.
RBK showed me how it feels to have my heart ripped in two, in slow motion. You will experience Emerson's hurts and pains and then cheer her on for her will to survive. This story is different and unique. It touched me in so many ways and goes on my 6 star reads shelf! It's absolutely brilliant and one that I'll never forget.
R.L. Griffin published her first book in 2004. After that she focused on practicing law. A few years ago she began writing the By A Thread series, which is out now. Her goal is to keep readers on their toes, whether it's the plot twist or the book itself, her books are outside any box. There is a little bit of grit in most of her books and a ton of cussing. Most books are enjoyed better with a glass of wine, or whiskey, whatever your poison may be.
She lives in Atlanta with her husband, kid and dogs. She loves to travel and meet readers.
